Haemosiderin-laden macrophages in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with diffuse alveolar damage Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a relatively common histopathologic pattern seen on surgical lung biopsies and can be caused by infections, drugs, inhalational injuries, connective tissue diseases, and other forms of insult. It is the most common histology seen in patients with ARDS.

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease As the lungs tend to be vulnerable organs due to their exposure to harmful particles in the air, several things can cause an acute exacerbation of COPD: 1  Respiratory infection, being responsible for approximately half of COPD exacerbations. 2  Allergens, e.g., pollens, wood or cigarette smoke, pollution. 3  Toxins, including a variety of different 4  ....

Bullous Emphysema Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Pulmonary emphysema is a chronic and lifelong disease of the lungs. Primarily, the alveoli (small and tiny air sacs) in the lungs are affected. Sometimes, they can be narrowed by the walls between them becoming thickened. Sometimes, these walls can be entirely destroyed, leading to larger yet fewer alveoli.arijuana use is also suspected as being related to the development of bullous emphysema. However other less common causes such as regular exposure to pollutants, consistent inhalation of dust and other contaminants, frequent and recurrent infections of the respiratory system and others may also exist.

Medical Terminology Module 7 is the formation of scar tissue that replaces the pulmonary alveolar walls. his condition may be caused by autoimmune disorders, infections, dust, gases, toxins, and some drugs. This destruction of lung tissue results in decreased lung capacity and increased difficulty in breathing.

Macromineral Deficiencies and Acid-Base Disorders Respiratory alkalosis. Respiratory alkalosis develops when rapid, deep breathing (hyperventilation) causes too much carbon dioxide to be expelled from the bloodstream. The most common cause of hyperventilation, and thus respiratory alkalosis, is anxiety. Other causes of hyperventilation and consequent respiratory alkalosis include pain, low levels of oxygen in the blood, fever, and aspirin overdose (which can also cause metabolic acidosis).

Picture of the Lungs 1 Emphysema: A form of COPD usually caused by smoking. 2  The fragile walls between the lungs' air sacs (alveoli) are damaged, trapping air in the lungs and making breathing difficult. 3  Chronic bronchitis: Repeated, frequent episodes of productive cough, usually caused by smoking. Pulmonary fibrosis: A form of interstitial lung disease. 2  The interstitium (walls between air sacs) become scarred, making the lungs stiff and causing shortness of breath. 3  Sarcoidosis: Tiny areas of inflammation can affect all organs in the body, with the lungs involved most of the time.

Subcutaneous emphysema Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema is thought to result from increased pressures in the lung that cause alveoli to rupture. In spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema, air travels from the ruptured alveoli into the interstitium and along the blood vessels of the lung, into the mediastinum and from there into the tissues of the neck or head.

- Radiographic examination reveals diffuse, fluffy infiltrates consistent with pulmonary edema (Figure 1). In short, the clinical diagnosis of TRALI is identical to that of acute lung injury (ALI), as described by Bernard et al (Table 1). Treatment consists of aggressive respiratory support, including supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation.

What is Alveolitis? Alveolitis is a general medical term for a case of acute or chronic lung inflammation. It occurs when the inner linings of air sacs in the lungs called alveoli become irritated and damaged.Resulting symptoms may include shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue that worsen over time.cute or chronic lung inflammation is called alveolitis. The scarring and inflammation in alevoli tissue can be revealed with an x-ray scan. Asbestos exposure can damage alveoli. X-rays of the lung can help a doctor diagnose alveolitis in the early stages. View slideshow of images above.

PATH: Respiratory Pathology Rapid progression from initial symptoms to respiratory failure is a key feature. An x-ray that shows ARDS is necessary for diagnosis (fluid in the small air sacs alveoli) in both lungs). In addition, a biopsy of the lung that shows organizing diffuse alveolar damage is required for diagnosis.

CEREBRAL CONTUSIONS, DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY, AND THE SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY (TRRAUMATIC AXONAL INJURY). Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a special traumatic lesion, which occurs most frequently in motor vehicle accidents and following blows to the unsupported head. In the course of such injuries, the cerebrum goes into a back and forth gliding motion, pivoting around the upper brainstem.

Primary alveolar hypoventilation Primary alveolar hypoventilation. Primary alveolar hypoventilation is a rare disorder in which a person does not take enough breaths per minute. The lungs and airways are normal. Normally, when the oxygen level in the blood is low or the carbon dioxide level is high, there is a signal from the brain to breathe more deeply or quickly. In people with primary alveolar hypoventilation, this change in breathing does not happen. The cause of this condition is unknown.

Acute Interstitial Pneumonia - Diffuse Alveolar Damage Acute onset lung disease characterized by diffuse hyaline membrane formation followed by organization. Adult respiratory distress syndrome (clinical term for disease with this pattern) Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a pattern that has many causes including Infection, aspiration, shock, toxins, burns, transfusions and drugs. When idiopathic, it is termed acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) Both idiopathic and secondary DAD share an acute onset and poor prognosis Roughly 50% mortality in six months.

- Emphysema results when the delicate linings of the air sacs in the lungs become damaged beyond repair. Most commonly, the toxins in cigarette smoke create the damage. 1  As the fragile tissues between air sacs are destroyed, air pockets in the lungs develop.  Air becomes trapped in these spaces of damaged lung tissue.

Bibasilar Atelectasis Bibasilar atelectasis is a partial or complete collapsing of the lungs or lobe of lungs when alveoli, the tiny air pockets become deflated. This condition causes problems in breathing and may occur after a surgery.Atelectasis may also occur due to other problems like cystic fibrosis, lung tumor, inhalation of foreign objects, accumulation of fluid in lungs, chest injuries, and severe asthma.Usually the tissue damage varies depending on the causal factor.oreover, pneumonia is another cause of nonobstructive atelectasis. A large tumor outside the lungs can press against this organ causing deflation rather than blocking the airways thus causing atelectasis. Other causes are scarring of lung tissue from injury, surgery, or a lung disease.

Emphysema Emphysema Pathophysiology. -Emphysema results from: -Alveolar walls lose the ability to retain their normal shape and size as lung elasticity is lost.-Damage to acinar anatomy is due in large part to the action of PROTEASES such as the elastases which are released from PMNs (i.e. neutrophil elastase) and monocytes.mphysema Pathophysiology. -Emphysema results from: -Alveolar walls lose the ability to retain their normal shape and size as lung elasticity is lost.
